Author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was honored at this year's Girls Write Now Awards, where the mentoring organization dedicated to helping underserved young women find their voices through writing celebrates the women who helped pave the way for the teen girls.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie sat down with NPR's Michele Norris for short discussion on the  "Americanah" author's thoughts on race and identity.

In an interview with the UK's Channel 4 news, Chimamanda Adichie sits down to discuss the themes of her new book Americanah including love, race and hair. While Adichie maintains her quintessential grace, I found myself slightly uncomfortable with the interviewers prodding about her hair.

Watch as she explains why hair is political.
